Spring ‘25 Program Offerings:

Thursdays, 10:00-1:00, 10 weeks, starting April 10th, 2025.

Spring has long been considered a season of transformation and renewal! The forest is full of incredible observations, as the earth becomes greener, the birds become louder, and the days become longer and warmer. Children ages 3-6 are invited to join us for another magical session of Nature Nursery, an 8 week program that utilizes our bright and cozy classroom, along with 86 acres of pristine woodlands for expansive learning. This program is equal parts structured and free, meaning, we have a predictable flow to our day that includes circle time, organized crafts and sensory activities, and designated lunch time, as well as creative exploration of the outdoors and child-led play. Class capacity is 10 children with 2 instructors. All children must be potty trained.

We are so lucky to collaborate with The Newtown Forest Association which has been protecting Holcombe Hill and 1,000+ more acres of wild land for over 100 years. If you’d like to make a donation of $40 at www.newtownforestassociation.org/#donate to support the ongoing conservation of open space in Newtown, you will be eligible to receive $40 off this program.
